From March 2021 to October 2023,a preliminary survey focused on the amphibian and reptile resources,particularly Cistolemmys flavomarginata,in the Shihe River section of the Xinyang provincial nature reserve was carried out.The survey identified a total of 2,041 specimens across 3 orders,14 families,16 genera,and 40 species.These included 803 amphibian specimens from 1 order,4 families,and 13 species,with one new recorded species and one invasive species.Ranidae family comprised 8 species,making up the majority with 61.54%of the amphibian species.Most amphibian fauna,totaling 5 species,were Oriental,accounting for 38.46%.For reptiles,there were 1,238 specimens spanning 2 orders,7 families,16 genera,and 27 species.Native species numbered 25,while exotic species accounted for 2.Testudines order had 2 families and 5 species,constituting 18.52%of the reptile species.Squamata order encompassed 5 families and 22 species,making up 81.48%,with Colubridae being the most diverse family at 15 species or 55.56%.Predominantly Oriental reptile species amounted to 14,or 51.85%.Among the 40 amphibian and reptile species found,5 are national second-class protected animals(12.5%),3 are provincially protected(7.5%),and 3 are endemic to China(also 7.5%).These findings offer valuable insights for effective conservation,sustainable use,and scientific management of these resources within the nature reserve.
